The 12 Best Affordable Restaurants in Phoenix, Arizona | Eater Phoenix

"A cornerstone of 19th Avenue’s growing multicultural strip, Da Vang has been serving homestyle Vietnamese food in Phoenix for decades. The no-frills dining room stays busy with families, regulars, and construction workers grabbing lunch. Service is minimal (you might need to wave someone down) but meals arrive fast and hot. Banh mi start at under $7 and come generously packed with barbecue pork, ham and pâté, or tofu. Most pho bowls land under $15 and range from brisket and rare beef to spicy bún bò Huế. The flavors fill the room, the portions are generous, and the setting echoes the kind of Vietnamese neighborhood joints found across Southern California." - McConnell Quinn
